Course Details

Introduction

Air Gold Coast's Flight Instructor Rating course is conducted in accordance with the requirements in CASA Part 61T.

The course commences with an aeronautical knowledge assessment and right hand seat introduction flight (included in tuition fees) followed by the Principles and Methods of Instruction (PMI) module. The PMI program is based on the FAA Flight Instructor Handbook which also prepares candidates for the CASA Flight Instructor exam.

Following the PMI course, candidates will undertake an intense ten weeks classroom and flying program to develop the skills required to be successful Flight Instructor. Flight training sessions are conducted in a Cessna 172.

Upon successful completion of the course graduates will be issued with a CASA Flight Instructor Rating with a Grade 3 Training Endorsement and Diploma of Aviation (Flight Instructor).
